Instances of SCP-4000-1, photographed during a religious ceremony in 1920.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Misinformation campaigns regarding the religious beliefs of SCP-4000-1 have been initiated to discourage conversions to SCP-4000-1. Additionally, whenever possible, Foundation personnel should seek to reinforce and promote more insular and fundamentalist ideologies among the SCP-4000-1 community, with the aim of discouraging further additions to the SCP-4000-1 community via marriage of outsiders. Any feasible means of accomplishing this objective are to be pursued if scenario modeling indicates an 80% likelihood of success or higher. Strategies that do not meet this likelihood criteria are to be discarded, due to the high risk of breakdown in relations between the Foundation and SCP-4000-1.

MTF Delta-20 ("Sand Crawlers") are to carry out proposed strategies to shift SCP-4000-1 ideologies in the long-term. Strategies authorized include kidnapping and targeted use of hypnosis, amnestics, SCP-████, and other methods to alter religious beliefs among key community members, undercover insertion of Office of Tactical Theology personnel to persuade community members via theological argumentation, and assassination of resistant community members as necessary.

In order to prevent SCP-4000-1 instances from realizing the full extent of their abilities, they are not to be allowed any contact with ontokinetic entities of any nature, including but not limited to thaumaturgists, reality benders, and the House of ███████.

MTF Delta-20 is to maintain a 10-kilometer covert exclusion zone around SCP-4000-2. Due to the remote location of SCP-4000-2 and the scarce population of Palestine at this time, it is expected that one MTF will be sufficient to prevent travelers from entering the exclusion zone or nearing SCP-4000-1. If population levels increase, this policy will be reviewed.

MTF Delta-20 has also been tasked with inserting teratogens into the water supply. Field experimentation has revealed that due to a unique combination of their religious beliefs and their abilities, SCP-4000-1 instances are rendered resistant or immune to most forms of poisoning, teratogens and mutagens, carcinogens, and every disease tested to date. No further attempts to chemically alter SCP-4000-1 population levels are permitted.

SCP-4000 is currently uncontained, located in the center of SCP-4000-2 within a religious shrine. Due to SCP-4000's status as a holy object for SCP-4000-1 instances and the high risk of a breakdown in relations with SCP-4000-1 if an extraction is attempted, it is to be left in its place in the short-term.

If current projections hold, 90% of SCP-4000-1 instances will be rendered infertile and/or mentally disabled due to inbreeding by 1962. Once this threshold has been met, MTF Delta-20 are to execute Protocol JERICHO, followed by retrieval of the object.
